We have been busy preparing for the arrival of our little one and as you can see so has Samuel. I've been putting Samuel's "baby toys" away as he has outgrew them but now that I'm going through a "nesting" stage we've been pulling out all his baby toys, clothes, etc. Mike and I figured that maybe if we let him play with all this baby stuff now he'll be more willing to share with his little brother once he arrives. For the past few weeks Samuel has started his days with saying "Baby Toys, Baby Toys." And yes the hat he has on in the picture below was his when he was a baby.

I know Samuel is really too little to comprehend me being pregnant but Mike and I talk to him constantly about his new little brother, the pregnancy process and all the fun things Samuel will get to teach him once he arrives. Whenever we talk to Samuel about the baby he always says "I Touch. I Touch Baby." I know it will be an adjustment for all of us but we're excited to be adding to our family and our memories.

Samuel has had the same routine since he was 8 months old. He sits in his daddy's lap with his blanket and pacifiers and listens to stories being read to him by his daddy before he goes to sleep. There are a lot of times I will read to him but overall Mike has done the majority of the nighttime reading. Samuel likes when Mike reads to him because he does different voices. Daddy's more exciting than Mama. ;)
